Some English traditions I wanted to try while there:

Drinking afternoon tea

After my arrival and some chatting, my friends wanted to take me for afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is when tea and biscuits are served.

I thought this was an excellent meal, even though some people think I have fancy Belgian tastes 😉

The English countryside has something peacefully about it. Walking around the village was lovely and the houses were cute. Loved this English cottage:

After all of this, there was one more tradition,
having a drink at the local pub…
